You have the best control of a gun when you hold it close to your body. In a stand off situation you do not need the sights. If the subject is close enough to point your finger at them just think of the barrel of the gun as an extension of your finger. Holding the gun to far forward would allow anyone a better chance of disarming you. Unless you are highly trained and can fire in an instant just about anyone can be disarmed even if your finger is on the trigger. If you train to shoot at the slightest move you can be disarmed at the slightest distraction unless you are ready to shoot at all times. Disarming can happen so fast that your mind will not process the information fast enough. One reason I like single six pistols so much. the trigger pull is so short in some hands it would be dangerous. some people just don't feel safe with a short trigger pull. I worked over one action that I had to keep my thumb on the hammer when it was cocked. the trigger pull was so light a strong wind might set it off. always keep your eyes on the persons moves never let them get your attention focused on their eyes. In this video the suspect was taking baby steps toward the gun. If he had been able to get close enough he would have been able to disarm, get control of the gun or kill with deadly hand and feet blows. I guarantee you there are places on your body that if hit correctly will instantly disable or kill you and I don't care how big and muscular you are If you get hit in the right spot you are not going any where but down. the suspect in this case was reported to be a professional fighter. Professional fighters have to know those special spots so they don't kill in the ring. this guy was not in the ring and he had just committed a felony.

I would have placed him under citizens arrest and held him for the police. a professional fighter has some really fast moves you do not let them close in on you. One more move after you say freeze and bang. a large hole in the leg would have made him freeze. a move after that and his head would be missing a large chunk. he committed a felony you are a witness, why would he not try to put an end to you and try to get away?

I would be hollering at bystanders to call the cops, telling the truth that this guy just did a hit and run and you want the cops to come. <br /> <br />Truth is, when you are standing there holding a guy at gun point, you BETTER be hollering it out to everyone, lest you get shot yourself by someone confused about the situation. <br /> <br />It is a huge step to point a weapon at another human being. It must be taken serious because it is serious. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
